Raina won the toss and predictably decided to bowl. The Giant lost a limb in the first over, with Rahane getting out for a duck🐣. Captain Steve Smith⭐ & the flashy Rahul Tripathi added quick runs for the 2nd wicket. After the duo departed, Ben Stokes and Manoj Tiwary got starts and kept the scoreboard ticking. MS Dhoni’s demotion to no.7 didn’t help his batting as he failed yet again😞. They lost a flurry of wickets towards the end, with Andrew Tye⚡ bagging a hattrick in the final over of the innings. He became the first bowler this season to achieve a 5-wicket haul👏.

The Lions opened with demolition💥 men- Dwayne Smith & Brendon McCullum. The two of them tore into Pune’s bowling and raced to 94 in the 9 overs. Wicket-taker Imran Tahir💫 was treated with disdain as he went for 35 runs in his first two overs😱. Pune hit back with 3 quick wickets but the damage was already done and with Gujarat batting deep, the writing was on the wall. Captain Suresh Raina & Aaron Finch ensured that there were no more hiccups👍 and took their team to victory with 12 balls to spare.
